- mandoline
- half pint mason jars
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs fresh jalapenos
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon celery seed
Instructions
- Slice stems off jalapenos and cut into ¼-inch slices. Set aside.
- In a large pot, bring sugar, vinegar, garlic powder, turmeric, and celery seed to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes or until all the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the jalapenos and bring back to a boil. Once at a vigorous boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 4 minutes.
- Remove jalapeno slices with a slotted spoon and add to clean mason jars leaving ½-inch of space at the top of the jars.
- Bring syrup mixture back to a boil and boil for another 6 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Pour the syrup over the jalapenos ensuring they are fully submerged. Use a fork or spoon to get rid of any air pockets.
